The word gynecomastia means “woman-like breasts” of the male physique, and is a quite common condition affecting as much as 60% of the male population. It can cause a lot of insecurity, especially in social settings where men are expected to be shirtless, such as at the beach, pool, locker room, or in the bedroom with a partner.
Can male breast reduction be performed with liposuction?
For some, liposuction is all it takes to reduce the size of male breasts. This technique is successful when the enlarged breast size is due to fatty tissue alone and the skin of the upper chest has retained flexibility. If the oversized male breasts are the result of excess glandular tissue, it must be surgically removed to reshape and contour the chest. For extreme cases of over-developed male breasts, a combination of nipple reduction, liposuction, and breast tissue removal may be performed to achieve the most optimal results.
